Open the PPR Context where you need to manage design changes.

Check there are links pointing to the publications of the geometry.
When a geometrical element is selected, Machining Operations are automatically linked to the publication of the geometry (if any).
- Go to the Geometry tab of the Machining Operation dialog box. In the contextual menu of the sensitive icon select Analyze

The Publication Name appears in the Geometry Analyser dialog box.

- Or select
Links to publication are found under Set:

The first possibility is to replace the 3D Part containing the part to machine (here Shape To Machine Product35604) by another 3D Part containing the new design.

- Double-click Shape To Machine Product35604
You are now in the VPM Physical Editor.
- Right-click Shape To Machine Product35604 and select By Existing in the contextual menu that appears.

- Select Automatically reconnect in the dialog box that appears

- Select another 3D Part from the session or search one.
In our example we have selected Part2_Product35603, with publications having the same names as the original design.

Each link pointing to a publication of the part is rerouted automatically to the new publication, with identical name.

The second possibility is to replace a complete Setup Assembly product (here SetUpAssembly_A).

- Double-click SetUpAssembly_A
You are now in the VPM Physical Editor.
- Right-click SetUpAssembly_A and select By Existing in the contextual menu that appears.

- Select Automatically reconnect in the dialog box that appears

- Select another product from the session or search one.
In our example, we have selected SetupAssemblyB, with publications having the same names as the original design.

Each link pointing to a publication of the product is rerouted automatically to the new publication, with identical name.

When a manual reconciliation is needed:
Note:
This happens when automatic reconciliation fails (or is not requested) or when the replacement is done outside of the PPR Context, geometry links of operations being seen as Not found
-
Select and the Manufacturing Program.

-
Use the Reconnect Assistant that appears to reconciliate the broken links.
